I’m sure he lives in a minority neighborhood and isn’t just projecting.

If they don’t paint it as a racial thing, they will lose their power over the narrative.And that's really what this is. They always scoffed when anybody said there's a point where people will just leave when you treat them like open bags of loot that will never leave.
I like how the tantrum has turned into all the media stories calling it a "rich white enclave" like it's east Hampton. It's bigger than the city I live in, has the same racial makeup of the broader US, and the median household income is like $10k lower than the national median income. It's a straight up middle class town, but the rest of baton rouge is such a shithole that they have to pretend middle class people are all Jeff Bezos.
I find comments like this to so stupid. As if people don't have a right to have grievances. I wouldn't be surprised if the people of St George were met with the same type of vitriol and now it looks like they're getting the last laugh.

This new city has the same demographic breakdown as the average for the United States.
I think it makes perfect sense to use the English pronunciation when speaking English, the French when speaking French, Italian when speaking Italian, etc. My wife gets really bothered by people pronouncing Tokyo like Toke-e-o too and I can understand it, but I think she over-reacts a bit. If you never heard of Stephen Colbert and then saw his name in print do you think you could be forgiven for saying it like Cole-Bert instead of Cole-Bear?
You didn't mention race?Like I said, this isn't new and it's just class warfare. I'm going to once again point out the irony of this happening in a place called Red Stick.
That's not an answer to any of the questions I asked you. It's a really minor thing so who cares, really, but that makes your strawman response all the more disappointing.Does ANYONE say Cole-Bert?
No amount of coolness in its name is gonna make you wanna live there, I assure you.

What do they call it when you spew shit?
These dudes are really unraveling. Apparently they're "racist", so the implication is that they want more racists in their city.If they don’t paint it as a racial thing, they will lose their power over the narrative.

I get it, but you're totally not at all racist, right?

This issue is not necessarily a racial thing. I laugh at you because you're laughable. And my comment was specifically about his response to my post.I like how @Andy Capp laughs at my post saying it’s not a racial thing and then likes @Loiosh post saying it’s not a racial thing.
You’re probably the last of the braindead libs I don’t have on ignore because you were basically background noise. I am not confident you have a coherent thought in your head.This issue is not necessarily a racial thing. I laugh at you because you're laughable.

LOL ironic. When you begin to understand the difference between preventative measures and reactive measures I'll be over in the thread about legislation to require securing of weapons, clownshoes.You’re probably the last of the braindead libs I don’t have on ignore because you were basically background noise.
